Herbarium Specimens Demonstrate Earlier Flowers

Observing the Wisconsin Fast-Plants was a monitoring experiment, we were just observers to the natural life cycle of these plants, and we did not influence their growth in any way that would not occur naturally. We took notes and observations about each stage of

Climate change has affected us in many ways, but it was even more influential on organisms and their community. The Earth is gradually heating and we are left to deal with the consequences. Homes are being destroyed, organisms are dying, and resources are running low. Since 1880, Our Earth’s temperature had increased by about 0.8 degrees Celsius. Climate change is affecting the Earth and scientists say that one more degree will greatly affect people from all over the world. There are many consequences of climate change and each one has a great impact on all of us, but organisms’ homes are being destroyed and thousands of species are dying out. These organisms are imperative to our world and how it functions.

Global climate change and variability, particularly at regional levels, are not completely understood. Therefore, there are many significant

The annual rate of precipitation, and elevational range once generated a strong foundation for a wide diversity of vegetation

d. It should appear in the tail signifying a negative relationship, with .05 in that tail.

In the next few paragraphs, one will see the evidence provided by a variety of archeologists and paleoclimatologists onto how climate change caused the breakdown of the beautiful society.

Temperature influences the distribution of plants and this is another abiotic factor. In the Lions club tower I could feel the difference in temperature. Bottom at being cold and moist whereas the top is warm and dry. This is shown clearly on the average table. Temperatures such as snow or frost determines the distribution of plants as most plants cannot prevent freezing because of their tissues and this abiotic factor affects the plantae group. Other effects that could cause an establishment to particular plants due to temperature is the gemination of biennial plants, and this is during spring or summer known as vernalization. This is the cooling of seed in order to quickly adapt to the environment and the abiotic factors. As of the forest

Second, the reading states that park wildlife was affected as well. In contrast, the professor in the lecture averts that the small plants that grow create ideal

     The environment throughout history has been of particular interest to archaeologists. The environment dictates how human beings will live, what kind of food they will eat, and similarly what kinds of resources are available. One way of looking at the paleo-environment is through the use of phytoliths. Phytoliths can provide many insights as to what the environment may have been like at a particular time; they can tell if the weather was humid or dry, if it was windy and what direction the wind was going in, or if seasons were particularly hot or cold.

Degree days are used as a measurement that includes both temperature and time to quantify the rate of plant or insect

It has been observed through various researches that in the last century, average temperatures across the globe increased by over 1.3°F with an increase of more than two times in the Arctic. (Bates, Kundzewicz, Wu, & Palutikof, June 2008). The results of climate change can also be seen in changing precipitation patterns, increases in ocean temperatures, changes in the sea level, and acidity and melting of glaciers and sea ice (USEPA, 2014).

When you hear the words “climate change” what comes to mind? Probably weather and the changes. Many of us watch the news or use an app on our cellphones/electronic devices to keep an eye on the weather for the day, week, or even the month. But, there is actually a difference between weather and climate. Weather is actually “the changes we see and feel outside from day to day. It might rain one day and be sunny the next. Weather also changes from place to place” (Dunbar, 2014). Whereas “climate is the usual weather of a place. Climate can be different for different seasons. Different places can have different climates” (Dunbar, 2014). This paper will focus on the ins and outs of climate change, specifically focusing on what climate change

The warming of earth proved to be a great advantage for the mass expansion of plants and a coinciding gain for humans as well, since a vast amount of plants were beginning to exist closer to humans according to Elizabeth Pollard et al. in Worlds Together, Worlds Apart (22). During this era, humans gained control over the reproduction of

Colt’s foot was flowering later in all the regions that we looked at. The number of days, that Colt’s-foot was later by, was quite high. The days from 10 to 21 days on average. From this we could conclude that Colt’s-foot was flowering later in the whole of the UK and that is was not a specific regional issue. The relationship between temperature and the flowering of Colt’s foot was what we expected. For all regions the results showed that as temperature increased that flowering of Colt’s-foot was earlier. We tried to see if there was a relationship between temperature of a previous year and flowering dates for the next year. The p values were not significant, so we concluded that temperature was definitely not a factor causing the flowering of Colt’s foot to be later. The idea of using simulation and looking at the effect of a reduction in the number of flowers helped explain why Colt’s-foot was flowering later. The hypothesis into a reduction in flowers, along with a shorter flowering interval was proven correct. The hypothesis we made led to simulations being made and we were able to explain why Colt’s-foot was flowering later. We were able to produce histograms and table that showed differences of 15 days to 28 days on average. The simulated data differences in mean corresponded with differences in mean from the real

Climate change is an extremely complex topic which requires many different scientists in various fields of study to draw conclusions in their own experience. Some examples of field work include scientists braving the Antarctic to analyse ice samples, air monitoring sites, scientist who collect
